Bishop Gruss I hope you read this so here goes.
With the utmost respect due to your office, SHUT UP SIR. Lack of charity? I'm not saying the priest should not be forgiven for what he did but I will say he should have had better sense to begin with. Our church has just been drug through the cleaners over child molesters and what does this man do? He brings in a filthy diseased ridden queer in the class room of our youngest of children?
Sir when it comes to our children, charity goes out the window and the guns come out a blazing. Now teach this priest better sense in the future, and make sure he NEVER DOES THIS AGAIN!
Do you understand what I'm talking about?
I’ve never been so angry like this in a long time.
I would never allow a child to be anywhere near these pedophile priests. And they seem to be getting bolder and bolder about revealing their perverted sexual desires and wanting to groom little children.
“guest who does not represent the values of our Catholic faith”
Does that mean he wouldn’t invite a Protestant or Jewish author, or a Muslim or Buddhist?
What about an author who is divorced, or living with someone before marriage.
Bishop Gruss is sucking up to antichrist. Fr. Held is a hero.
Isaiah 5:20.
The bishop’s attitude is “tell-tale”.
I don’t understand Christians who claim to be faihful Christians but are not faithful to the Bible. If they were intellectually honest they would have started a new religion.
It’s mostly the leadership who are unfaithful. “Mere mortals” and all that.
it’s why i keep my own communion with God...
Problem here is the School staff who green lit this activity.
The Religious Schools will draw from some of the similar resume’s the secular institutions do. If a Bishop wont stand by his Priest when he has to do the necessary house cleaning to fix not only this problem but the personnel problem in the activist staff in the parish, that priest is going to have to resign. Because you can’t work with these people and they will stab you in the back.
“Problem here is the School staff who green lit this activity.”
True but in a Catholic school Father can and should override anything that is against the teachings of the Catholic Church. The buck stops with him so to speak. That is why I say this priest should have had better sense.
“He (The Bishop) concluded, “My prayers and concern go out to all the members of St. Joseph the Worker Catholic community, that Christ’s peace may be a uniting force for a greater good.”
To Hell with the greater good.
What pedophile priest? Did you even read the article. He was forced out by the bishop because he apologized for inviting the author. Please note, he realized it was wrong to have him read his book even though there was no sexual content. He realized even having the author there was wrong because the author’s living situation did not reflect the values the school wanted to present to the children.
I’m gonna say that you aren’t reading. He made a response, he got backlash and the Bishop didn’t stand for him.
Story is really lacking details. I’m guessing he had no idea this person was a controversial figure until after the event happened. So he apologized publically after the event, and got a community backlash. The Bishop removed him.
That was my take on it too.
Do you seriously think these pedophiles didn't know what was going on? They got caught and someone had to pay.
This was not an article about pedophile priests.
It was about a pedophile priest inviting a homosexual groomer into the classroom. I did read the article.
